perry is different from reagan. The fact is Perry is corrupted with special interests. He has flip-flopped on his views more than any one. He was trying to force teen girls to receive a hpv vaccine that was made by the pharmaceutical company, Merk. Merk hired his former political advisor as lobbyist and donated to his campaign. "Merck, the vaccine's maker, donated $6,000 to Perry's 2006 re-election. “...and [Merck] paid Perry's former chief of staff big money to lobby for them,” the ad says. It's also true Merck hired Perry's former chief of staff as a lobbyist. A graphic in the ad implies the lobbyist received $260,000, but that is misleading since Texas Ethics Commission records show the most he could have made at the time is $50,000." http://www.wfaa.com/news/politics/Re...-98882579.html |

Look at the polls right after we killed bin Laden, or look at the polls for congress (much worse than Obama). So what does all this mean? Nothing, except the obvious - when the economy's stalling, following a huge recession, and the stock market is unstable, and housing prices are down, and politicians are just bickering - people are unhappy, so they say that everyone sucks. If the focus changes, the polls change. Right now, we're in the middle of 2 years of a bunch of repubs going around the country, telling us how we're supposed to feel. Do you think that any of them are admitting that the Obama admin is doing better at recovering from a recession than Reagan did? Of course not. You conservatives are so comically confused. Out of one side of your ass, you say that the US is full of lazy freeloaders looking for handouts, but when these people are surveyed in a poll, they suddenly represent the voice of the nation, out the other side of your ass. |

Yawn... Boooooring. Why would I bother RE-posting stuff that has already been covered ad nauseum in multiple threads?
But getting MY vote isn't even Ron Paul's problem. I'm not voting in the Republican Primaries, it's his fellow Tea Party Republicans that he needs to convince to vote for him. Right now he can't beat the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and The Wicked Witch of the (mid) West, so MY vote won't matter. Here's a more interesting question: Why do Tea Party REPUBLICANS dislike Ron Paul so much that he's an also-ran in the Republican Primary poll numbers? Answer that, if you can. GOP Primary: Perry 29%, Romney 18%, Bachmann 13%, Ron Paul 9% http://www.rasmussenreports.com/publ...18_bachmann_13 Quote:

He's disliked by the Tea Party due to some of his positions that appear to be left leaning, like military and foreign isolationism, legalizing drugs and prostitution, etc. Not exactly appealing to social conservatives!

Funny...you need to understand commodity trading abit better...money didnt go from popping real estate mkt into commodities...so the avg american has a futures account and gonna trade up grain, oil, cotton, copper, platinum???.
Now some real estate money did go into the gold trade. After the real estate mkt popped , did they buy alot more clothes, drive alot more, start buying more ring bands, start eating more hence driving up commodity prices?....hhmmm. If you think that the rise in gold and commodities in general isnt related to the US dollar weakening you are crazy. The commodity trade isnt in a bubble yet...you prob think gold is at a bubble top also...there are clear signs when a bubble is happening and you dont obviously know what the signs are...dont worry, just know I sold my excess real estate in late 2005... ![]() Please stick with the politics... ![]() ![]() Quote:

What do you think Obama will run on? He can't run on his agenda and what he's done because everything he's has been widely unpopular and a failure. So his other option is attacking republicans; how long would that last? He's a lost cause, I continue to wonder why the democrats don't want to have someone besides Barack Obama run against republicans in 2012.

I laugh.
1) you somehow think retail market investors move the market, as if institutional investors and hedge funds aren't the primary drivers. Yes, institutional and hedge fund investors DID get out of Real Estate (CDO's, mortgage funds, etc) and moved into commodities and gold. The numbers are all publicly available. 2) you somehow have missed the entire ETF commodity product for retail investors. You don't have to go trade yourself on the floor to invest in commodities. 3) you somehow have missed that demand has DROPPED due to unemployment, yet commodity prices have gone up regardless. People didn't move out of their house and go on consumer spending spree's. They lost their job, lost their house, and live in their relative's basements trying to not spend any money at all. I pity your clients you give financial advice to. I'm just an amateur retail investor, and I know about this stuff you seem to be completely clueless about. You are letting your politics get in the way of your financial analysis. You should get out of politics. Quote:

Although I like many of his libertarian ideas, he's a non-starter. In other words, his ideas about dismantling the govt are so radical, they would never get anywhere in this country. Look at how hard it is just to make tiny little changes to spending, taxes, or govt programs. So he comes along and says, "let's put 95% of the financial burden on our states". It would be anarchy, except it wouldn't, because he wouldn't get congressional support for anything. You see, unlike you, I'm not under the dome of propaganda that says democrats invented social programs/ entitlements, and that democrats want to expand these things, and are not concerned about fraud and waste. That's a myth. Truth is, there are just as many repubs who love their medicaire, social security, and veterans benefits, that I'm not deluded into thinking that I have to vote for some radical libertarian-republican, just to get the civil liberties that democrats have always upheld. |

He's the only president in like 50 years to actually pass some form of healthcare reform, which is something that Americans have been asking for, for decades, despite whatever you think. He ended the recession, the stimulus worked fantastically, and all the large companies that were bankrupt when he took office are now doing great. And as you know, your precious stock market is up 100% from its low in 2009. He reversed a lot of the freedoms that were taken away by Bush, he pulled the troops out of Iraq, and, oh, he killed bin Laden. He's vastly improved our relations with the rest of the nations, and, let's see...... oh I know - we haven't been attacked in this country during his presidency. Anything else, genius? ![]() |

Oh, and he's also extremely bright, well spoken, he has a great sense of humor, he's a good father, and Michelle's a very likeable first lady. Of course, this is only what most Americans think, I'm sure you can't get past your hate, racism, and propaganda mantra to see that.

Damn, my post didn't post fully again. What I wrote was: You think the freeloaders and welfare recipients would ever vote conservative? Haha, that makes no sense.

![]() We had this one wing-nut from Georgia here when I joined in 2008. He sounded exactly like this tool, but disappeared right before Obama got elected. I guess he could not deal with the complete defeat. His username was ganeil. Douchebag of giant proportions.
